"A token of love."

"Ah!"

Tuoba Jin stared at the Ping'an Qilin Pearl Pendant and sneered. This jade pendant looked very familiar to him. It was his burial object in his previous life.

"Lin'an."

Tuoba Jin closed his eyes and tightened his grip. She had never mentioned this place before.

"Let's go to Lin'an."

He spoke calmly, even with a faint smile on his thin lips.

"what?"

Lun Tu was stunned. When he came to his senses, he watched Tuoba Jin put the jade pendant in his arms and opened his mouth, wondering if he should be reminded.

The Wolf Lord forgot to return the jade pendant to him!

"Go back to Mobei, I will give you a good one."

The man waved his sleeves and strode away.

The shadow of the wine glass placed on the table was lengthened by the setting sun.

The weary birds returned to their nests, and their clear chirping woke Xiao Linglang from her slumber. She didn't know what day it was for a moment.

He stared at the bed curtains for a while, then patted his dizzy head and stood up.

"Chanxin?" She drew aside the curtain and looked out for someone.

no one?

Xiao Linglang coughed twice, then stepped on her shoes and got out of bed.

Why do you feel dizzy?

Glancing at the sunset outside the window, she thought for a moment that she had just fallen asleep and was awakened again, becoming even more confused.

The yard was also surprisingly quiet.

"Miss, you are awake!"

Chanxin held the empty incense altar and came over in surprise.

"Yeah." Xiao Linglang rubbed her head, her tone still filled with confusion from just waking up, and asked softly, "Where did you go?"

Chanxin covered her injured hand with her sleeve, her eyes flickering as she replied in a clear voice, "I, your servant, will go and clean up the incense altar."

"Isn't the incense altar cleaned every day?" Xiao Linglang scratched her head in confusion, but she didn't ask any further questions.

He took two steps forward and hugged Chanxin's arm, his cheeks reflecting shyness, rubbing her head, and said in a soft voice, "Chanxin, I'm hungry. It's very strange, as if I'm walking on clouds."

She described her feelings as if they were quite strange, and took two steps deliberately to show them to Chanxin.

Zen thought to himself: How can I not be hungry after sleeping for a whole day and night?

"My dear young lady." Chanxin pulled Xiao Linglang and dragged her into the house with helplessness and pampering, winking at her, "As for you, get ready first. Auntie has cooked a sweet soup with red dates and longans in the kitchen. I will bring it to you, young lady."

"Okay." Xiao Linglang licked her cracked lips greedily and nodded softly.

When Chanxin turned around, she remembered something and then hooked the corner of her clothes.

"What's wrong, miss? Is there anything else you want to eat?" Zenxin coaxed with his head tilted.

"How is mother?" Xiao Linglang raised her almond-shaped eyes, full of concern.

"Madam is fine, Miss, don't worry." Chanxin bent down and touched foreheads with Xiao Linglang as he always did to comfort her. "Once Miss has recovered, she will be able to help Madam with the housework."

"You're right!" Xiao Linglang clenched her fists and nodded vigorously. When her eyes swept over Chanxin, she was slightly confused.

Why are Chanxin’s legs shaking?

"Zenxin, you..."

"Hey! Miss, I'm going to the kitchen. Nanny Wu is still watching." Chanxin interrupted Xiao Linglang hurriedly and ran out in a hurry.

Xiao Linglang shrank her shoulders and thought, forget it. She should not waste her time and energy on Chanxin based on what Madam Wu said and let herself be scolded.

She took small steps to the desk and sat down, and took the first step to pick up the account book.

Now that her father is gone, she has to take good care of her mother for him.

Chanxin ran out of Wangshu Garden, squatted down, rubbed his knees with gritted teeth, and slowly walked away.

Miss is too perceptive. Let's let Nanny Wu deliver the meal later.

After walking only two steps, Chanxin saw the nanny beside Yang Qingwan and immediately became alert.

"Is the young lady awake?" the nanny asked coldly.

"Awake." Chanxin bowed and saluted, wary of the other party.

The other person flapped his eyelashes slightly, turned around and left, leaving Zenxin a little dazed, but his heart was at peace.

Xiao Linglang was worried about Yang Qingwan, so she gritted her teeth and drank the medicine no matter how bitter it tasted.

After two days of Nanny Wu's stewing soup, she could finally go out and stretch her muscles.

She went to the front yard to see her mother, but was turned away.

Looking at the nanny blocking the door, Xiao Linglang lowered her eyebrows slightly, with a look of grievance in her almond-shaped eyes.

Mother has been so cold to her lately.

It doesn’t matter. Daddy is gone, and mom has so many things to do. She must be very tired. It will be fine once she has had enough rest.

Xiao Linglang raised the corners of her mouth again, suppressed the disappointment in her heart, bowed obediently, and said to the nanny: "Please tell mother that Linglang has gone to check on the shop, so that mother can rest assured."

"I will tell Madam."

Xiao Linglang looked back every few steps, still hoping that Yang Qingwan would come out to see her, but before she left the yard, the nanny had already gone in, and she didn't come out for a long time.

She took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, Ling Lang, don't be afraid. Daddy and mommy have taken her to the shop before, so there will be no problem."

Xiao Linglang walked in front and whispered to herself to encourage herself. Behind her, Zenxin sighed inaudibly. The Madam has become really strange. It would have been better if she had not asked the young lady to go down the mountain early that day.

On Lin'an Street, Xiao Linglang wore a veiled hat and walked into the first shop, revealing her identity. The shopkeeper just glanced up at her and didn't take her seriously.

Xiao Linglang's hands tightened. What happened?

"Manager Jin?" She deliberately emphasized her tone.

"Oh, it's Miss Xiao." Shopkeeper Jin put down the abacus in his hand, smiled hypocritically, and said with contempt, "Miss, is there anything I can do for you? If you like the jewelry in the shop, um... the Second Madam has instructed that you must inform her first." He looked a little embarrassed.

"Second Aunt? What do you want to say to Second Aunt?" Xiao Linglang frowned, her fingertips turning white from pinching.

"Didn't the eldest lady tell the eldest lady?" Shopkeeper Jin asked deliberately, then looked at the plain-dressed girl in front of him and curled his lips slightly, "The master was in a hurry, and the old lady was afraid that the eldest lady would be tired, so she asked the second lady to help manage the Xiao family's property."

"You guys!" Xiao Linglang still didn't understand something, and pointed at the sanctimonious man angrily, "Shameless villain."

Shopkeeper Jin raised his eyebrows. He needed to eat. How could the eldest wife, who had no son, inherit the Xiao family? He must choose a new master.

Xiao Linglang finally turned around and left the shop managed by Manager Jin, and went to several other shops, but the result was the same.

Xiao Linglang's heart ached. Did her father ever mistreat them when he was alive? Now that his body is still warm, they are all so heartless!

She grabbed Zenshin’s hand and squeezed it tightly.

"Go and take a look at the dowry shop my father prepared for me." She didn't believe they could be so shameless!

Chanxin nodded and helped Xiao Linglang into the carriage.

In the carriage, Xiao Linglang leaned against the carriage, her eyes fixed on one place, her mind empty.

Chanxin lay cross-legged at Xiao Linglang's feet, hugging her calves and comforting her gently.

Suddenly, the carriage made a loud noise and stopped suddenly with the brakes.

Chanxin was immediately furious and pulled open the car curtain, "What's wrong? You can't even drive properly!"

The driver was speechless and pointed to the front of the carriage, saying in a low voice: "I didn't mean to do that. Something suddenly jumped out from over there, and I didn't have time to pull the reins, so I just... I just ran into it."

"What!?" Zenxin raised his voice.

Xiao Linglang got up from the floor in a panic. Upon hearing this, her face turned pale and she got out of the carriage in panic.
